Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 352: Dead lips and cold teeth

Under Zhu Jing'an's leadership, both the Ming and Qing armies are now accustomed to building fortifications to block the enemy by digging trenches and preparing sandbags.

The same is naturally true for Fu Chang'an.

Although he is not a famous general, he still knows how to fight in a tough battle.

Since he was prepared to hold on to Tianjin, preparing to build fortifications was what he had to do.

If he could not build the most basic fortifications before the Ming army arrived in Tianjin, Tianjin would definitely be unable to defend it.

Boom!dong dong!

The dull beating of war drums sounded, and the Ming army arrived outside Tianjin.

And they set up a battle array outside Tianjin Fucheng and prepared for the siege.

Artillery pieces were unloaded from the battleships to the shore, and the Ming army began to prepare for the siege.

"All artillery crews listen to orders and prepare for school firing!"

"Fire!"

boom! Boom boom!

One after another, solid artillery shells were guided by the hot air balloon, accurately destroying buildings inside and outside Tianjin.

At the same time, the Ming army's artillery, which used new types of explosive shells, also began to prepare for firing.

The first few artillery guns that fired were all solid shells!

Wherever the shells passed, houses collapsed and smoke filled the air.

A dense crack appeared near the impact point.

But when Fu Changan was helped up, he seemed not to feel any pain, and his face was still filled with lingering fear!

Just now, a solid artillery shell came straight towards Fu Chang'an. If the guards around him hadn't saved it in time.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of gun smoke.

Although the Ming army now has quite a lot of experience in the production of new type of explosive bombs.

Amidst the shouts, the black muzzle of the artillery was pointed in the direction of Tianjin Fucheng.

Just now, the moment the cannon sounded, Fu Changan was thrown to the ground.

After the school shooting ended, a large-scale shelling began.

As if shells were free of charge, shells were fired towards the Tianjin city wall.

There was a deafening sound of shelling.

A blood mark was scratched directly on his palm by the rough masonry, and blood flowed freely.

Along with a burst of shouting and waving of flags, the artillery deployed by the Ming army outside Tianjin began its first round of calibrated firing.

With a bang, the projectiles of the artillery shells hit the Tianjin city wall, and the bricks and stones on the Tianjin city wall fell.

The gunners operated the artillery carefully, for fear that the artillery would explode in their hands.

The gunners of the Ming Army also began to calculate and adjust the shooting Zhuyuan non-stop!

The hot air balloon has already taken off, ready to provide fire guidance for the Ming army's siege troops.

Now Fu Chang'an has been smashed into pieces by solid artillery shells!

Immediately, the roar of the Ming army's heavy artillery continued.

However, to a certain extent, blooming bullets are still much more dangerous to use than solid bullets.

Because a solid bullet is just a big iron ball to put it bluntly. Even if the artillery using solid bullets explodes, the barrel will be cracked and deformed at most.

Based on the Ming Army's current quality requirements for ordnance, it is basically unlikely that an entire artillery crew will be scrapped after the artillery explodes.

However, the flower bomb is different.

The shell of the explosive bomb is filled with a large amount of new smokeless gunpowder.

If it explodes in the barrel, the artillery barrels currently used by the Ming army will definitely not be able to withstand such a large chamber pressure.

By then, almost no one in the entire artillery crew will be able to survive!

boom! Boom boom!

A round of ammunition was fired towards the top of Tianjin City.

The cannonballs with pointed cylindrical heads drew a beautiful parabola in the air and fell towards the city. With a bang, a shell smashed through the roof of the city gate tower and fell into the city gate tower.

In an instant, a ball of fire and thick smoke exploded at the top of the city.

The gate tower of Tianjin Fucheng was instantly razed to the ground by exploding shells.

The smashed bricks, stones and wood made the Qing soldiers all around cry for their fathers and mothers.

Countless people suffered bloody injuries!

Fu Changan was stunned when he saw this horrifying scene.

The expression on his face was distorted, and there was unspeakable despair and fear deep in his eyes.

However, no matter how fearful he was in his heart, Fu Changan could only show fearlessness on the surface, shouting slogans to defend the Qing Dynasty and boosting the morale of the army.

Most of the Qing army officers sent to garrison Tianjin today are bannermen.

Although these people usually eat, drink, go whoring, gamble and carry caged birds without doing their job, when it came to the critical moment of the Qing Dynasty's life and death, most of these bannermen still had the determination to dare to fight the Ming army to a life-or-death showdown.

Just like the one-duck-two-duck period in history, although the Green Camp in the Qing army was completely decayed and unusable.

But the Eight Banners soldiers fought several battles with very high casualty rates.

Although they were not able to block the advance of the British and French forces, these bannermen showed great bloodiness.

Nowadays, the situation faced by the Qing court with internal and external troubles is more tense than the situation faced by the Qing court during the original historical line of one duck and two ducks.

In the eyes of these bannermen, it was time for them to fight tooth and nail!

……

At the same time that the Ming army launched an orderly bombardment of Tianjin City and prepared to launch an siege.

Yongyan and Yonglin outside Baoding also received a personal letter from Yongrong.

Yongyan and Yongrong sat side by side on the main seat.

In front of them, Xiao Yunzi knelt down and kowtowed to the two of them.

"The Ming thieves landed in Tianjin and threatened the capital. The Qing Dynasty is in danger!"

"I also ask the two princes, for the sake of the late emperor, to put aside their past grievances and fight against the enemy side by side with the emperor to protect the Qing Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Yonglin, the youngest, was the first to lose his composure and snorted coldly.

"The late emperor?"

"Does Yongrong still have the qualifications to appoint Emperor Ama? When Emperor Ama was dying, he left an imperial edict for me to succeed to the throne."

"But what did Yongrong do?"

"Leading troops into the pass and forcing the king to abdicate, isn't this a naked act of disobedience?"

"He still has the nerve to mention Emperor Ama?!"

Now Yonglin is really full of resentment towards Yongrong.

In his opinion, if Yong Rong hadn't rebelled brazenly, he would have been the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!

Yongyan on the side didn't react so fiercely, and just said calmly.

"For the sake of the late emperor, Lao Qi and I can tacitly agree with him to withdraw his troops from Baoding and guarantee that after Yongrong withdraws his troops, we will not take advantage of others' danger and march into Baoding."

"But there is no need to mention the alliance!"

Now it's not only Yonglin who has resentment towards Yongrong, but Yongyan as well.

At that time, when Yonglin succeeded to the throne, Yongrong and Yongyan made an appointment to join the army.

However, in the end, after Yong Rong won the victory, he turned against others.

Yongyan was also holding back resentment in his heart.

After hearing this, Xiao Yunzi brewed her emotions, raised her head and said with red eyes.

"The two princes, their lips are dead and their teeth are cold..."
